history

Statue of St. Florian, erected in 1886

Weprowatz got its name from Slavs after 1526, after the Turks conquered and occupied the area. There was possibly a village settlement in the area of ​​Weprowatz as far back as ancient Hungarian times.

After the Austrian army under Prince Eugene of Savoy had liberated the country from the Turks, Vienna began to repopulate the areas of the hereditary kingdom of Hungary that had been depopulated by the Turkish wars . For this purpose, Emperor Leopold I set up a commission under Cardinal Ferdinand Graf Kollnitsch in 1689 , which in the same year worked out the impopulation patent and its implementation provisions.

The newly settled people originally received the land property for temporary usufruct, but under Emperor Joseph II , the house and farm, including inventory and land (which was a kind of long lease), became the property of the settlers.

In 1758 the village was settled by Hungarian and Slovak colonists. In the Hungarian village with 130 houses, laid out in an east-west direction, the Roman Catholic church was also built in 1763 as a rammed earth building. Already 21 years later, this clay building was replaced by a new building, which is dedicated to St. Stefan of Hungary and which still towers over the village today. The Slovaks were assimilated into Hungary at the beginning of the 19th century .

In 1786, German colonists were settled in a separate part of the village called the "German Village". The settlement was based on various government decrees. In 1886 a devastating conflagration destroyed half the village, in the same year the statue of St. Florian was erected in the village to commemorate it .
